Jack Cafferty (CNN) asks: One idea being tossed around as a way of dealing with [high gas prices] is the four-day workweek. Several states are considering it. Staggered work schedules would be necessary in order to keep government offices open five days a week, and some have suggested that would end up costing the taxpayers [...]

I’ve updated my friends who blog blogroll (on the right on the blog index page). It pretty much matches my Bloglines folder (save for those of you friends whose blogs are on hiatus). If you’re a friend and I’ve missed you, let me know!

Like many siblings, these guys get along really well. Except when they are fighting like cats and dogs…or I guess that would be cats and cats!
Do you think that maybe…

if/when Barack Obama is actually opposing someone who isn’t a (supposedly) respected peer, he might fight a bit more?

Time for another quick lunchtime post. I saw this kid this AM on GMA and had to search out the clip. Boy, as much as I liked some of the winners on our side of the pond (particularly the ladies: Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and Jordan Sparks), their voices didn’t make me cry. So there’s [...]

Ouch. Tonight, Tweety had a Republican talking head who suggested that Bill needs to stop “helping” Hillary for the same reason that doctors cannot operate on family members … one’s emotional connections create real problems.

So, The Last Lecture hit bookstores this week. But according to its author, Randy Pausch, the lecture he’s most proud of (see 3/25 entry) was not this one, but instead, one on time management. It’s funny (or serendipitous if you go for that sort of thing) that just this AM I was thinking about how [...]
Are people lying more?

So, I’m doing my normal post-work thing, catching up on the blogs and watching Hardball. And according to Tweety, there is a new poll out that says New York voters prefer McCain/Rice over either Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama. Pardon me, but huh? I just don’t get this. It really makes me wonder if there is either [...]
April showers

Ah…pretty view on my morning commute. Ooh. Bummer. Nasty commute home in the rain! And not-so-pretty view of the same monument (on right behind trees). I hate a late commute home, and a late commute in the rain just has to be the worst. As I’ve said for a long time, DC drivers start having [...]
